Fine Art Asia will be the first art fair in the world to offer a Sandbox Metaverse gaming experience with its special exhibition “Fine Art Asia x Sandbox: Art in the Metaverse” at Fine Art Asia 2022. Visitors will be greeted by different Sandbox game characters that are created with reference to centuries-old antiques, and can also take a look at the corresponding antiques up close. What’s more, there will be mini-games in the special exhibition that are designed according to the history and art background of the antiques, so that visitors can take part in the games and travel between reality and the Metaverse. Not only implementing the idea of “play-to-learn”, this special exhibition also brings a new dimension to art and ancient culture, thus carrying out the aim of “reviving ancient culture”. |

The Ink Society will present a special exhibition “A Tribute to Yu Peng” at Fine Art Asia 2022. This exhibition is the sixth instalment of The Ink Society’s continuing “Tribute” series, which celebrates the art and legacies of master ink painters. Yu Peng (1955-2014) was one of the few contemporary ink artists who led a traditional literati life that was re-interpreted for modern day society. As well as painting, he practised design, pottery and woodwork, and built a charming garden that became his haven in the midst of urban Taipei. Many friends and fellow artists spent hours chatting with each other while enjoying Yu Peng’s warm hospitality.
